I was interested in hearing any replies as well.
Looks like not many people here have used these.

The sliders seem to be what I have been looking for.
Frame mounted.
Only one hole to drill on frame (optional).
A wide step.
Minimal and functional.
Within budget.
Just waiting for some feedback before I pull the trigger.
There must be someone out there that have these on...

I have their tube fenders and front inner liners. The quality is very good if that helps you in your decision. I would certainly order from them again.

I am getting mine on this Wednesday. Will be running a few winter trails/backroads next week.

I installed mine a few days ago. Installation was very easy. I too like how they mount. I really like them. My only issue is that I ordered them from extremeterrain.com and they came all scratched up on the top. They should package them with the bottoms facing each other since that's what is going to get scratched anyway. Not a big deal--especially since I called to complain and they gave me a generous store credit.:rock:

I had my local shop install them. I didn’t want to be crawling around under the Hulk in the cold and snow. The install was really straightforward and easy. Took just over an hour.

If I have a complaint, it is that the pinch weld is exposed. The rails are slightly shorter than the stock plastic steprails (which took a lot more abuse than I thought they would) but nice and wide and steady. You’ll bounce off the rails when sliding before you’ll hit a door or frame member.

On 4WP, one reviewer showed he mounted his with thicker washers and kept the stock Rubicon rock rail intact. Have you tried that?
